Your themes is only optimized for 1680 x 945 resolution, probably because you use it in your build (I like it,
my compliments)
Is possible to have the two background for system and game list optimized for 1080p and 720p?

I use the theme in 800 x 480, 1440x900 and 1920x1080 too (tested on multiple builds, see the two first pictures above), only the backgrounds are in 1680x945, the rest of the assets are worked in 1080 so you wouldn't have problem at any resolution.

@chicuelo yes but the line of list aren't in correct place (not aligned with text) and the dot have graphic glitch
EDIT: blurred for the stech

Yes, those are the only two issues I left unsolved, The vertical spacing looks fine in most of resolutions but in 1080 does not match. I think its not so bad anyway. The dots I will see if I use an svg file to replace them

Updated version
Now you will find both backgrounds in 1920x1080 and the line height matches fine in that resolution :)

I really love your design !
Have you planned to create a 1280x1024 version (4:3) ?

Really no, but if you try on that size it will fit fine, I played on lot of screens with different aspect ratio and all of them worked fine (excepted an old CRT tv with the RCA cable where the game snaps offset a little, out of that it worked fine in every tv I tested)
Hope you can try and works for your setup

Hi!

I love your theme, it's very slick. I'm using ComicBook right now because it's really complete, but I like clean themes better (ComicBook is great but a bit busy-looking).

Do you do requests? There are a few systems missing for my build (SegaCD has the 32X logo, and "ports" is empty).
If not, where did you grabbed your illustration images so I can do my own and make a pull request?

Also, I think the dots on the left are a nice touch, but they don't work very well. Switching from one system to another makes the dots jump around with no apparent logic, and some systems are missing them (DC, N64, setup, Kodi, favorites, last played). Is it just me?

Lastly, I have activated the video option (gamelist view style > video) and I also have the game images, but the video is displayed above the image. Do you plan to make an option to display both side by side, or should I do it myself and make a pull request?

Thanks for your great work :)

@cosmo0
Hi Cosmo, I could prepare the systems you are using and are missing. I need some time because I am very bussy right now.
The dots is not available for the downloadable version, because you have to match the right order with the right systems.
I made it form my build and it should be deactivated on the GitHub version or the ES theme menu.
If you want to try yourself feel free to download the zip or clone and edit / replicate themes maintaining the structure of the images, its very simple, also you can try positioning the video in the right side.

Thanks!

@chicuelo
Thanks for the answer :)

If you're busy I'll try to do my own themes, no worries :)

I'm not sure what you mean by the ES theme menu ? I didn't see any option that would match "system indicator" or whatever. I'll just have to edit the theme files.

I see in your theme that everything is included to make our own. That's awesome, thanks :)
When I get some time I'll try to do a SegaCD theme and position the video nicely.

Thanks for your awesome work :)

@cosmo0 Chicuelo meant that the version you install from ES theme menu shouldn't have the dots enabled.

[cosmo0]

@hurricanefan ah! ok, well, I installed it from esthemes, and it did have the dots, so I guess there's something wrong on GitHub?

[HurricaneFan]

@cosmo0 Looks like there are possibly 2 versions of the theme.

1. https://github.com/chicueloarcade/es-theme-Chicuelo
2. https://github.com/chicueloarcade/Chicuelo

@chicuelo Which one doesn't have dots included?

[chicuelo]

@hurricanefan
Sorry I forget to delete the first project, now its available only /es-theme-chicuelo

[HurricaneFan]

@chicuelo That might break what is in ES Theme installer. I think that one points to /Chicuelo.

'chicueloarcade Chicuelo'

[mitu]

@chicuelo just to expand on @HurricaneFan's observation, the ES theme installer in RetroPie expects the repository name to be called es-theme-<themename>. So if your theme is declared in the installer as chicueloarcade Chicuelo, the installer will check out

github.com/chicueloarcade/es-theme-Chicuelo

If you moved the repository, then the installer will not be able to install/update your theme.

[chicuelo]

@mitu Thanks, but thats the exact name my repo has: es-theme-Chicuelo so ES will look into there. I assume its working fine
